Today is Monday and it's another recipe for The Kids Cook Monday! Today is all about Roasted Carrots. Roasting carrots bring out their natural sweetness and carrot flavor. Nothing could be simpler than roasting vegetables and it's more of a technique than a recipe. But the results are wonderful and if your kids won't eat raw vegetables, then try roasting them and you may see your kids gobble them down. My daughter, Marissa does not like raw carrots but she likes them cooked and couldn't stop eating these.

To celebrate this Family Day, The Kids Cook Monday has released a toolkit on their website that is free and downloadable. This toolkit gives tips and ideas to help you plan, cook and eat healthy meals with your family every week. Go to The Kids Cook Monday website to download your toolkit.

Roasted Carrots﻿

Recipe by several sources from cookbooks & internet

Freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel carrots if desired. Cut carrots in half lengthwise. Place carrots in single layer on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over carrots. Season with 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and some freshly ground pepper. Toss carrots around to coat with oil and seasonings. Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes.

I cut the carrots in half lengthwise. These type of knife skills are too dangerous for my daughters so I took care of this task.

But, Mariah measured the olive oil and.......﻿

........seasoned the carrots with salt and pepper﻿. Then she tossed it all together right on the baking sheet.

Marissa put the carrots in the oven. About 30 minutes later out came these.......
